"Slapped him to see if he was a real ghost?"

"HHHMM?" Kind of a backwards individual I think.
I once read that the vikings of old when traveling the then unknown world might chuck a spear at someone they didn't know just to see if they were "real"....but that was a long, long time ago.
I tell my help to never get closer than an arm's length to avoid getting punched, kicked, and then be ready to beat-feet in retreat if they decide to attack you, shine a bright flashlight into their eyes ....
Do some haunters get punched, abused because they are actually wanting this treatment?
My body is pretty well beat-up and wore out but that is the price for using tools and doing strenuois work all my life, I sure don't like the aches and pains that came with it though.
